    It would almost certainly to pay for flights and a hotel to a European grand prix instead

    Yeah, I’m looking into this. I’m tempted to drive to one of the closer European races.

  2. A bag of haribos, was always around the £1 mark for years. Then it went to £1.25 and quickly £1.35.

    Just called into the shop and picked up a bag (for the children, honest)… £1.55

    First the petrol and now haribos. Where wil it end???

    Newey strongly rumoured to be leaving Red Bull. I'll believe it when I see it

    I would and wouldn’t be shocked at the same time.

    It looks like a basket case behind the scenes which extends to Max who doesn’t seem to be happy with the management of the team either.

    Newey can go to any team he likes, or retire with his millions. He holds all the cards really.

    It would be good for the sport if Red Bull did implode.

    Newey to Ferrari. Max to Mercedes. Maybe Sainz or Lando to Red Bull. 

    That should mix things up a bit.

    Avoid at all costs, total ripoff 

    I looked into it a while back and came to the same conclusion.

    We don’t print a huge amount but have an Epson XP-3100 which is great because it accepts cheap off-brand ink cartridges and has never failed us.

  5. I think I mentioned before that for the last year or so my little girl has shown a strong interest in f1. She’s so young (12) she doesn’t really know how great it used to be!

    So I considered tickets for the British grand prix as a treat for her… the cheapest general admission on race day is £309 each!! That is absolutely obscene. With parking, fuel, food, merch on top I’d be looking at over £700 for 1 day out (with a forgone conclusion of a result). Piss take.

    Cheapest ticket with a seat is £499 each.

    I don’t know how they get away with 1) charging so much and 2) not getting crucified in the media for their pricing.

    There's probably a case study on him somewhere about the benefit of him having hair on his chest at 10 years old and playing say u14 football at that age, playing u18 football at 14 and full men's football at 16, he was a boy in a man's body

    Not saying its why he made it but always assumed it's why he was that good, how much exposure to better coaching did he get from a younger age because of his body and how did that develop him earlier and faster 

    I dont think there's been many if any players like him 

    I could 100% believe that. My lad is 13 and the others that age that are 6 foot and strong are getting hoovered up by academy’s now even if not technically as good as others.

    Best deal available at the moment. 

    Whats the difference to the variable? Maybe it’s worth holding on as long as possible for rates to drop a bit for a better deal? Risky, but if the price isn’t much more then it might be an option
